God created both men and women in his image and likeness which means the spirit man is in both, male and female. Men and women both got the goods of God so no one is better than the other.
Men aren’t better because they are bigger or stronger. Men aren’t rulers over women.
I’ve had a dating experience where the guy was controlling and I instantly had to shut it down. I tried to help him but because of pride he wouldn’t admit to his controlling behavior. So I shut the dating down. The only spirit that’s safe to submit to is the Holy Spirit, not a demonic spirit of control or any other demonic spirit.
God doesn't control us so why would He be okay with another human being controlling another human being. It has nothing to do with gender.
God didn’t create male and female gender for domination. He created them for dominion.
In Genesis 1:26 KJV it reads, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
It does not say let them have dominion over one another. God created humanity as male and female, with differences. Although gender differences are evident in male and female behavior and roles, Scripture teaches the equality and complementarity of the sexes. Yes complementarity is a word lol. It does sound like a made up word but I didn’t make it up. It means a complementary relationship or situation. The only difference when it comes to male and female is their design, purposes and needs.
Men and women are equally qualifiable.
God is our creator and created us specifically for a specific purpose. God created men and women equal and He also made them equal in redemption. You can read in Gen 1:27 how men and women were equal in creation. You can also read in Gal 3:28 how they are also equal in redemption.
This is important to know in order to have and sustain a healthy relationship. Reason being is because we live in a male dominant society, but just because society sells that does not mean God is down with it. God did not create men to dominate women or women to control men. In God's world, dominance and control is a manifestation of pride, and by biblical definition, pride is witchcraft.
Neither a man or woman should go into a relationship with a demeanor of dominance.
God's command was for male and female to dominate the earth, not each other. We are equal in God's eyes and so it should be in our own eyes. There may be differences in our design and duties, but we are equally qualifiable for shared responsibility and respect.
This is not a man’s world and women are not under the dominance of men. This goes for women too, who are controlling and take their femininity outta context. It amazes me how people wanna control others but they don’t even have self-control. Control yourself!
Control and dominance is demonic.
This is important because when you understand God’s perspective and purpose you will have cooperation in your relationship instead of conflict and competition.
